Dinehere vs Toast

Yes, absolutely. Many restaurants find Toast's POS hardware excellent but their website fees too high. You can continue using Toast for your in-house payments and kitchen management while using Dinehere as your public-facing website to display menus and hours.

No, Dinehere does not track inventory. Toast syncs your website menu with your kitchen stock in real-time because it is a POS system. Dinehere is designed to display your menu to customers to drive foot traffic, not to manage your back-of-house stock levels.

Dinehere charges a simple one-time fee of £299 which covers the design, build, and 5 years of hosting. There are no monthly subscriptions, allowing you to break away from the recurring SaaS fees that platforms like Toast charge.

Dinehere does not process payments or orders directly. We focus on getting customers into your seats. However, we can easily add links to your preferred third-party delivery partners (like Deliveroo or UberEats) or display your phone number for direct orders, saving you from paying commissions on every click.

No, you own your domain name. During the setup process, we will guide you on how to point your existing web address (URL) to your new Dinehere site. It is a seamless transition.

With Toast, you often have to update the backend database to reflect changes on the site. With Dinehere, you simply send us a photo or text of your new menu, or use our simple tools. We handle the formatting to ensure it looks professional on mobile devices.

Yes, all Dinehere sites are fully responsive. In fact, because our sites are lighter and don't load heavy ordering scripts and tracking codes, they often load faster than complex POS-integrated websites on mobile data connections.

None at all. Toast usually requires you to buy their specific tablets and terminals. Dinehere is purely a software service for your marketing; it runs in the cloud and requires no equipment in your restaurant.
